The CDR Mapping Observatory is an automated literature surveillance system tracking publications
relevant to the COMECT (Community of Meta-analysts for Evidence-based Clinical Trials)
portfolio of living systematic reviews. It continuously monitors the scientific literature,
screening new publications and surfacing those most likely to be relevant to each meta-analysis.
Use the Publication Browser tab to search, filter, and explore the collected publications.
Each publication is associated with one or more meta-analyses in the COMECT portfolio and can be
reviewed by the working group. Use the meta-analysis filter to narrow publications to a specific review.
Currently the CDR Observatory includes — publications.
PRISMA flow diagram summarising the number of records identified, screened, and
included or excluded at each stage of the literature screening process.
Search, filter, and explore all publications collected across the COMECT portfolio.
Filter by meta-analysis, screening status, or free text. Download selections as Excel.
Manually screen publications at abstract level. Assign accept or reject decisions
per review. The screening model is trained on these labels to prioritise future papers.
Work through full-text papers accepted at abstract screening. Browse papers
one by one with prev/next navigation, adjustable font size, and quick
full-text screening status filters.
Table of all full-text-accepted papers with extraction tags as configurable
columns. Add, remove, and reorder columns. Default columns show country,
pathogen, and enrollment dates. Supports sort, filter, and CSV export.
Charts summarising the collection: publication trends over time, screening
outcomes by review, and distribution of study types across the portfolio.
